Annotation Type DynamoDBNativeBoolean

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={FIELD,METHOD})
public @interface DynamoDBNativeBoolean

An annotation that marks a boolean or Boolean attribute of a modeled class which should be serialized as a DynamoDB BOOL. For backwards compatibility with old versions of the DynamoDBMapper, by default booleans are serialized using the DynamoDB N type, with a value of '1' representing 'true' and a value of '0' representing 'false'.

Using this annotation on the field definition or getter method definition for the attribute will cause it to be serialized as DynamoDB-native BOOL type. Old versions of the DynamoDBMapper which do not know about the BOOL type will be unable to read items containing BOOLs, so don't use me unless all readers of your table are using an updated version of the mapper.
